Chris Tomlin - Never Lose Sight Devotional Sample

“Impossible Things (ft. Danny Gokey)” Devotional
Chris Tomlin

During the desperate, dark, difficult, and confusing times, we must cling to the belief that God can do the impossible. Yet when we are desperate or feel surrounded by darkness, when times are difficult and confusing—this is when it feels impossible to believe in the impossible, doesn’t it?

People tell you to pray and believe in a miracle, but your circumstances are telling you to be wary and skeptical. It’s hard to believe Jesus’ words, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matt. 19:26)

But what if instead of believing in and hoping for a big miracle out there, you looked at the miracle that’s already happened inside of you?

Before Christ, we were sinners without hope for redemption. Redemption felt impossible, as did freedom. But Jesus made all of this possible. He says in Luke, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.” (Luke 4:18)

You heal the broken hearted
You set the captive free
You lift the heavy burden
And even now You are lifting me

During times of trial, we must retrace the steps of our faith journey and remember, God has already done the impossible in us through his son: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!” (Rom. 5:8-9)

One word and the sinner’s forgiven ‘Cause You do impossible things

No matter what your circumstance are, nothing can change the fact that you are a captive set free. And that makes you walking proof that God can do impossible things, and that he will.
